RECPLAY SYSTEM

The IZT RecPlay record and replay system consists of at least one IZT R3301 RF Recorder with integrated high-performance RF receiver and built-in Sensor Controller, a memory extension for data streaming and one IZT S1000 Signal Generator for replay of the recorded I/Q data (Figure 1). The IZT S1000 and the external memory extension can also be replaced by the IZT S1010, which includes the memory function for long-term signal streaming.

An IZT RecPlay system for diversity recording consists of one IZT R3301 RF Recorder per antenna and is synchronized by an external clock distribution (Figure 2).

As a common reference clock alone (for example 10 MHz) would not be sufficient to ensure that all receivers operate phase-synchronously, one master IZT R3301 creates all necessary clock and synchroniza-

tion signals, like system clock and both VHF/UHF local oscillators, and sends them to a central clock distribution that amplifies the sig-nals and passes them on to all receivers. A trigger impulse starts the sample-synchronous recording of the system. Intercommunication between master and slaves of the built-in servers is controlled via optical LAN interface to minimize EMI. The built-in GPS receiver of the master serves as time and location reference.

If necessary, a calibration signal can be coupled into the antenna feeds, which allows to establish zero phase shift between the antenna inputs. The captured data streams of up to approximately 120 MB/sec are sent via internal GB Ethernet to each built-in server and is stored on an integrated RAID system.

Figure 3 shows the block diagram of the recording system configured for two diversity signals. The system is modular and can be expanded up to eight antenna signals.

Key Features

RECORDING SYSTEM

The IZT R3301 RF Recorder is a portable receiver with built-in server for data recording. It is optimized for recording RF signals in mobile and portable appli-cations.

The outstanding RF performance and signal pro-cessing matches the professional IZT R3000 Receiver series. These receivers were developed for applications of regulatory agencies, military and civilian radio sur-veillance and as lab test equipment.

The system is designed to produce good signal quality under extreme dynamic range and has successfully passed many rigorous technical evaluations with civilian and military customers.

With its very high dynamic range (Figure 4) and excellent phase noise this receiver platform is the ideal solution for the needs of modern digital modulation standards. FIGURE 4: FM BROADCAST RECORDING WITH HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE

Thanks to its front panel control, touch screen and integrated processing hardware, the IZT R3301 RF Recorder is the perfect portable RF recording system. While having a compact and rugged design, it also meets CISPR 25 / EN 55025 for extremely low RF emissions. The wide range AC and DC power supply is completed by an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) for surge and sub voltage protection against DC supply fl uctuations.

An internal GPS module adds location information to the received signals.

The IZT R3301 is characterized as follows:

Portable, rugged design Continuous I/Q data recording Swappable RAID system (Figure 5) Built-in GPS for embedded location information 10 V DC to 30 V DC power supply 100 V AC to 240 V AC supply with built-in UPS Control via touch screen Synchronization interface (Figure 6) Low RF emissions Built-in high-end IZT R3000 Receiver technology

The outstanding RF performance of the integrated IZT R3000 Receiver technology is based on a very modern and market proven receive system with excellent reception at very good signal quality. It is highly insensitive to strong adjacent band interference due to sub-octave pre-selector fi lters and high fi rst intermediate frequency.

FIGURE 6: EXTERNAL INTERFACES FOR POWER SUPPLY, LAN, GPS ANTENNA AND SYNCHRONIZATION

FIGURE 5: EASY RAID STORAGE SWAPPING FIGURE 7: SYNCHRONIZATION UNIT IZT R3301-SNC

The integrated IZT R3000 Receiver is characterized as follows:

9 kHz to 3 GHz frequency range Frequency range upgradeable up to 18 GHz Real-time bandwidth up to 25 MHz Very low phase noise High linear RF frontend for excellent IP3 performance Pre-selector fi lter bank guaranties best IP2 performance Additional digital fi ltering IF Filter bandwidth: 6.25 kHz to 25 MHz 1 Hz tuning resolution Multichannel recording of up to 4 different sub-bands

An External Synchronization Unit (Figure 7) provides phase coherent clock to multiple IZT R3301 RF Recorders in diversity or multi-frequency setups.

It can be enhanced by a calibrated signal source (connected directly at the junction plane of the antenna connectors) in test scenarioswhich require phase matching between the antennas.

Remote connection between multiple recorder units is made via optical LAN interface to prevent electromagnetic interference. An optical LAN converter allows for complete remote control of a single IZT R3301 unit over longer distances without EMI problems, for example in a highly sensitive RF measurement setup inside an EMI chamber.

IZT R3600 + IZT P2500

The IZT R3600 offers up to fi ve channels with 25 MHz instantaneous bandwidth each and covers the frequency range from 9 kHz to 3 GHz or even 6 GHz. The innovative multi-channel receiver system enables users to combine phase-coherent and/or multi-frequency RF recordings by choosing common or individual reference clock per channel. The scalable multi-channel receiver system with integrated frequency and clock conditioning reduces the number of external devices and minimizes overall system costs.

The compact design in one 19-inch, 8 U chassis combined with external powerful 19-inch, 2 U IZT Sensor Controllers facilitates easy transport and set-up.

IZT R4010 / IZT R4000 + IZT P2500

The IZT R4010 features excellent RF performance together with a large real-time bandwidth of 120 MHz. In order to reduce the massive amount of data being collected, it features the unique capability to dynamically extract parts of the full instantaneous bandwidth and record and post process them separately. The IZT R4000 in combination with the P2500 has suffi cient processing power for additional software features like modulation recognition, Communication System Monitoring or demodulation for analog and digital standards.

OTHER IZT RF RECORDER PLATFORMS

IZT R3302

The IZT R3302 is the more ruggedized, display-less variant of the IZT R3301 RF Recorder. Like the IZT R3301 it comes with an built-in Sensor Controller and integrated data storage confi guration, a wide-range DC supply with UPS and a built-in GPS module.

IZT R3410 / IZT R3411 + Notebook

Small size mobile single channel RF recording systems can be provided by combining IZT R3410 or IZT R3411 Receivers with external light-weight Sensor Controllers and IZT Signal Suite recorder applications. Mobile sensor controllers based on notebooks are available in different ready-to-use confi gurations specifi ed by IZT to customer requirements.

The compact variant of the successful R3000 series combines a limited weight of less than 7 kg with a fanless design suited for harsh environments by maintaining the excellent RF performance and a real-time bandwidth of 25 MHz. While the IZT R3410 can provide frequency coverage from 9 kHz up to 18 GHz, the IZT R3411 is further reduced in size and weight below 5 kg covering either HF or VUHF (20 MHz to 3 GHz) frequency ranges.

REPLAY SYSTEM

Replay of the RF signals is done with signal generator IZT S1000 / IZT S1010. Contrary to most signal generators available today, the IZT S1000 / IZT S1010 has been specifi cally designed to replay complex signals comprising a large number of individual carriers.

The IZT S1000 is characterized as follows:

9 kHz to 3 GHz frequency range 120 MHz bandwidth 31 Virtual Signal Generators Diversity replay for two antennas Phase synchronous replay of diversity signals Continuous data streaming of 225 MB/s Sharing of the available streaming capacity Real-time impairment simulation Modulators for DAB, DAB+, DMB, DRM 30, DRM+, XM, Sirius, HD Radio Universal ARB function with up to 8 GB RAM Easy to use compact setup

Figure 8 shows a setup for playing two diversity sig-nals with a maximum bandwidth of 120 MHz. The IZT S1010 additionally has a built-in memory extension.

The setup can be expanded easily to a system with more diversity channels by combining multiple externally synchronized IZT S1000 / IZT S1010 Signal Generators.

For the most demanding applications, data can be streamed from the external IZT S1000 Memory Exten-sion directly into the FPGA via dual Gbit LAN. The same function is available by the integrated memory exten-sion of the IZT S1010 (Figure 10).

FIGURE 11: IZT S1000 GUI STREAMING MULTIPLE VSG SIGNALS WITH VARIABLE BANDWIDTHS AT INDIVIDUAL CENTER FREQUENCIES AND POWER LEVELS

FIGURE 10: IZT S1010 REPLAY SETUP WITH REAL-TIME GPS MAP VISUALIZATION

All kinds of signals for radio testing and any I/Q signals of variable sample rate, as well as multiple signals, can be streamed at the same time to the signal source.

Dedicated LAN connections via the dual Gbit LAN port make it pos-sible to stream up to 225 MB/s. The available streaming resources can be shared among all streamed Virtual Signal Generators. Also the direct replay of a two-channel diversity recording of the complete FM broadcast band is possible.

Additional signals can be generated from the internal 4 GB memory while wide-band signals are streamed from the external IZT S1000 Memory Extension or from the internal memory in case of an IZT S1010.

The IZT S1000 / IZT S1010 supports a great number of relevant modulation standards. This enables users to rapidly develop custom applications for research, design, characterisation, validation and testing communications systems and components that modulate or demodulate signals.

IZT SIGNAL SUITE – DATA PROCESSOR

The IZT Signal Suite ‘Data Processor’ is a powerful unique data processing application that allows to review and edit recorded data off-line. Its exceptional feature is extracting individual signals from wideband recordings, which means an easy to use cut-out function in time and frequency domain.

Its basic main features are:

Signal extraction of individual signals Fast interactive display of spectrum and spectrogram Meta data display, like receiver settings and location information Markers in spectrum and spectrogram, e.g. reference, delta, TOA Supports processing diversity and multi-channel recordings

Extraction of signals selected in spectrogram with adjustable time range and individual center frequency and conversion into IZT S1000 / S1010 replay files or other I/Q data formats (Figure 14).

Several plug-in interfaces enable various additional functionality in combination with the Data Processor application:

I/Q data interface via plug-in ‘Signal Import/Export’ Analog and digital demodulation of recorded signals, e.g. CW, AM, FM, DAB Map visualization of embedded NMEA data via plug-in ‘GPS Interface’ Synchronous video replay via plug-in ‘Video Camera Interface’ Viewing and analysis of spectrum/specrogram recordings in scan mode via plug-in ‘Panorama Scan’ Fast zoom and scroll function in spectrum/spectrogram display via plug-in ‘Long-term Spectrogram Recording’

FIGURE 12: OFF-LINE VISUALIZATION OF GPS LOCATION INFORMATION

FIGURE 13: SPECTRUM PROCESSED FROM IQ-FILE WITH DYNAMIC METADATA (LEFT) AND FREQUENCY MARKERS (RIGHT) OF WIDEBAND RECORDING

Plug-in ‘Signal Import/Export’ supports a variety of I/Q data formats, such as 8 bit to 32 bit RAW-IQ, WAV-IQ including RF64 standard and several 3rd party vendor formats, e.g. importing R&S ESMD and Averna (NI) I/Q files. With this plug-in any captured signal can be exported to be shared with other IZT S1000 / S1010 users or for later file based analysis with 3rd party tools.

IZT SIGNAL SUITE – VIEWER

A separate IZT Viewer application allows to view and demodulate recordings or signals which have been extracted before. It provides cost-effective easy to use handling of I/Q data with combinations of marker types in spectrum and spectrogram display – which also supports the analysis of diversity and multi-channel recordings (Figure 27, Page 17). Later on enhancement of IZT Viewer with op-tions for signal extraction and data import/export can upgrade to the full functionality of the IZT Data Processor.

For both off-line I/Q post-processing and signal analysis, IZT provides workstation solutions with specially selected components for efficiently handling the sophisticated algorithms with optimum performance.

IZT SIGNAL SUITE – PLUG-INS

Mask Triggered Recording

Plug-in ‘Mask Triggered Recording’ allows capturing signals from the receiver or off-line from recordings with adjustable followup time. The trigger event can be defined by power limits exceeding spectrum masks (Figure 16), captured reference traces with adjustable offset, manually by pressing the recording button or by an external trigger pulse.

In combination with plug-in ‘Pre-recording’ the trigger can record signals with ad-justable pre-recording time. This allows to capture RF content even before the trig-ger event has occured, for example to synchronize GNSS receivers to a replayed GPS signal with IZT S1000 / IZT S1010 Signal Generator by taking into account the lock time of the chip-set.

Panorama Scan

In frequency ranges beyond the real-time bandwidth of the recorder a continuous scanning functionality provides panorama spectrum or spectrogram display, including rapid frequency zoom. This ‘Panorama Scan’ functionality can also be combined with mask trigger and long-term spectrogram recording.

Long-term Spectrogram Recording

The standard spectrogram is fast enough to show several minutes of PSD data, but users working with long recordings may want an overview over hours (Figure 17), days or even weeks of data in one spec-trogram.

The plug-in ‘Long-term Spectrogram Recording’ is able to show even these enormous amounts of data and update the display in seconds. By zooming within the spectrogram a user can drill down from a high level overview, showing one week of data on a single page, to a microsecond display, showing the maximum pos-sible time resolution of the sensor. All this happens seamlessly, within the same display and with update times that are usually less than one or two seconds.

Time Scheduled Recording

Plug-in ‘Time Scheduled Recording’ allows time sched-uled planning of recording events (Figure 18).

Time scheduled receiver confi guration and recording Planned tasks are automatically stored and resumed Setup confi guration can be selected easily by recalling stored project fi les Confi guration of individual parameters such ascentre frequency, real-time bandwidth, gain modes, recording name and recording group supported Supports multi-channel recording with several receivers and vRx/Dmod sub-bands Manual test run functionality allows schedule confi guration checking Start/stop time and start/length time programming

Video Camera Interface

Plug-in ‘Video Camera Interface’ supports synchronous recording and replay of IP based video camera data streams with IZT Signal Suite RecPlay recorder (Figure 19) and off-line post-processing application IZT Signal Suite Data Processor. This allows capturing additional terrain information like traffi c situation, building density, and weather conditions in addition to the GPS location information, which is implemented by design inside the IZT I/Q metadata data stream.

TESTVECTOR ARCHIVE

High-Capacity Storage Solution

Over time IZT RecPlay power users are collecting a ma ssive amount of captured signal data - especially when it comes to creating a test-vector archive, like needed for storing data of numerous test drives with different signal content or the high data rates of wide-band multi-channel or sub-band recorder setups. For this purpose IZT offers high-capacity high-performance storage solutions with fast data transfer capabilities via fi ber optic 10 Gbit Ethernet. A typical setup starts with a net storage capacity of 54 TB in data protecting RAID-6 confi guration. This basic setup can be enhanced easily in 8 steps to a full capacity of up to 486 TB.

If needed the high-capacity storage confi guration can also be en-hanced by a suitable optical switch to split several testvectors from the archive to multiple memory extensions of IZT S1000 / IZT S1010 replay setups.

Database

With an increasing number of recorded signals the need of fi nding signals with a certain content and properties out of a huge amount of data fi les arises. Therefore IZT Signal Suite Database provides easy fi nding of signal streams on huge storage drives of replay setups and high-capacity data archives by fi ltering key criteria like fi le properties, I/Q metadata and tagging information.

In addition to I/Q metadata such as center frequency, bandwidth and other receiver settings the operator can manually add tag information describing the recording setup and his intention about the content, as for example, operator name, location, single channel, diversity or multi-channel setup, signal content and purpose of the recording or test-drive.

FIGURE 22: PERSISTENCE VIEW INDICATES THE NUMBER OF SIGNAL OCCURRENCES

FIGURE 23: EMBEDDED I/Q METADATA AND TAGGING INFORMATION

Persistence Display

Plug-in ‘Persistence Display’ is a special spectrum representation method which provides display views of signals varying over time by colorizing its number of occurrences. Parameters like measurement duration and colorization weighting can be adjusted instantaneously by the user. This functionality allows the identifi cation of rarely emitted interferes inside known signal scenarios.

Applications

DIVERSITY SETUP

The system is ideal for handling phase coherent and frame synchro-nous recordings with multiple antennas at the same center frequency, for example for validation of FM broadcast diversity-tuners.

This challenging use case requires a very high accuracy in signal and data processing of the record and replay system.

MULTI-BAND SETUP

The system also fi ts perfectly into handling frame synchronous record-ing with multiple antenna channels at different center frequencies. This is an important use case for automotive customers for testing seamless DAB to FM linking in the fi eld.

The setup allows also to record DAB and DVB or the GNSS satellite signal and any other service at the same time.

The diversity antenna setup and the multi-frequency antenna setup can be combined for covering both a phase coherent FM broadcast diversity and also frame synchro nous DAB recording by using a IZT RecPlay setup consisting of three synchronized RF recorders, for ex-ample two IZT R3301 for FM broadcast and one IZT R4010 for cover-ing the entire DAB band at once..

MONITORING AND INTERFERER CAPTURE

The system is a perfect platform for long-term spectrum band monitoring and automated selective high dynamic range I/Q data

capture: trigger events caused by interferers, which have been defi ned by spectrum mask criteria are automatically starting the wide-band I/Q recording process of both the interferer itself and the GNSS services.

The recorded signals can be replayed with the IZT S1000 / IZT S1010 Signal Ge nerator and fed to a reference receiver for evaluation. The fi le-based pre-recording ensures that this receiver will have suffi cient time to acquire lock before the interference event. Recorded triggered signal events are automatially sorted in sub-folders together with captured video and GPS NMEA location information.
